Using the Radio Data
System (RDS)

(Models of area code CEL only)

This receiver allows you to use Radio Data
System (RDS), which enables radio stations to
send additional information along with the
regular program signal. You can display RDS
information.
Notes
• RDS is operable only for FM stations.
• Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do
they provide the same type of services. If you are
not familiar with the RDS services in your area,
check with your local radio stations for details.
Receiving RDS broadcasts
Simply select a station on the FM
band using Direct Tuning (page 36),
Auto Tuning (page 35), or Preset
Tuning (page 37).
When you tune in a station that provides RDS
services, the program service name appears on
the display.
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you tuned
to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if
the signal strength is weak.
Displaying RDS information
While receiving an RDS station,
press DISPLAY repeatedly.
Each time you press the button, RDS
information on the display changes cyclically
as follows:
Program Service name t Frequency t
FM mode

"BRAVIA" Sync Features

What is "BRAVIA" Sync?

"BRAVIA" Sync is compatible with Sony TV,
Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, AV amplifier, etc.,
that is equipped with the Control for HDMI
function.
By connecting Sony components that are
compatible with the "BRAVIA" Sync using an
HDMI cable (not supplied), operation is
simplified as follows:
• One-Touch Play (page 41)
• System Audio Control (page 42)
• System Power Off (page 43)
• Audio Return Channel (ARC) (page 45)
• Theatre Mode (page 46)
Control for HDMI is a mutual control function
standard used by HDMI CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control) for HDMI (High-
Definition Multimedia Interface).
The Control for HDMI function
will not operate correctly in the
following cases:
• When you connect the receiver to a
component which does not correspond with
Sony Control for HDMI function.
• When you connect the receiver and
components using other than HDMI
connection.
We recommend that you connect the receiver
to products featuring "BRAVIA" Sync.

Depending on the connected component, the
Control for HDMI function may not work. Refer to
the operating instructions of the component.
